S.B. No. 897 amends the Government Code to establish new matching grant conditions for community mental health programs that assist veterans and their families. Specifically, the bill modifies the percentage of non-state funding required from grant recipients based on the population of the county where the services are provided. For counties with populations of less than 100,000, the required matching funds remain at 25%. For counties with populations between 100,000 and 250,000, the requirement is set at 50%. However, for counties with populations of 250,000 or more, the matching requirement is reduced from 100% to 75%. The bill stipulates that these changes will only apply to grants awarded on or after the effective date of the Act, which is September 1, 2025. Additionally, the implementation of these changes by the Health and Human Services Commission is contingent upon the legislature appropriating sufficient funds specifically for this purpose. If such funds are not appropriated, the commission may choose to implement the changes using other available resources.
